As the green-robed old man spoke, he waved his hand and strands of lightning gathered from all directions. In an instant, a cage made of lightning appeared around Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's face was dark as he stared at the old man and coldly said, "Senior, what do you want?"
The green-robed old man looked at Wang Lin. After a long time, he said, "I want to borrow your death spell."
Wang Lin pondered for a bit and looked at the lightning cage. Crackling sounds came from all directions.
I want to know the reason. "
The old man thought for a bit and shook his head. "It's not time to explain yet, but the Old Man won't mistreat you. If you agree to come with me, I can give you an Earth Transformation Pill!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm, but his heart was moved. He had heard about the Earth Transformation Pill from Li Muwan. It was very precious and had the same effect as a cultivation pill. It could increase a Core Formation cultivator's cultivation level by one stage. From early stage to mid stage, the success rate was very high. From mid stage to late stage, the success rate was slightly lower, but even if it didn't succeed, it would still increase the spiritual energy in the body and build a foundation for the future.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit, then he raised his head and silently looked at the old man. Although he couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level, to be able to destroy the Hou Fen Union's sect protection formation with a wave of his hand and force Nascent Soul cultivators to not dare to come forward with a roar, this meant that he was either at the peak of the late stage of Nascent Soul, or he had already surpassed the Nascent Soul stage and entered the Soul Formation stage.
Given the other party's cultivation level, he could definitely use the restrictions he placed on him to threaten him. In fact, he could even use an even simpler method to refine him into a puppet. That way, he would be able to listen to his orders. There was no need for him to use the tone of a negotiation to negotiate with him.
"There must be a problem here!"
Wang Lin thought to himself, but he didn't show any abnormalities on his face. He pondered for a bit, sneered in his heart, and shook his head.
The old man's face was expressionless as he calmly said, "You're courting death!"
He reached out with his right hand and the lightning cage around Wang Lin shrank. Wang Lin didn't move and stared at the old man with a mocking smile.
The lightning cage became smaller and smaller until it almost touched Wang Lin's body. His hair was blown by the wind and turned to dust when it touched the lightning cage. His clothes also turned to dust.
The moment the lightning cage completely shrank, the old man's right hand stopped. He looked at Wang Lin and said in a low voice, "Not bad, but you don't know how to appreciate favors. Do you really think the Old Man won't kill you?"
Wang Lin's mocking smile became even stronger as he said, "One Earth Transformation pill is not enough."
The old man stared at Wang Lin, feeling annoyed in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that those who went there couldn't have any restrictions placed on their bodies, he would have placed restrictions on Wang Lin's body long ago and wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Furthermore, even after entering, all the restrictions would be rendered ineffective. Most importantly, if the other party used the Death Curse Art, if the other party harbored resentment and wanted to die together with them, all they needed was a single mistake, and everyone would be implicated.
A thousand years ago, when he first entered, it was because of this that he almost died. After a thousand years of recuperation, he was able to recover his original cultivation. Although his cultivation had improved a little, when he thought about how dangerous that place was, he couldn't help but shiver.
Therefore, he couldn't place any restrictions on Wang Lin, nor could he attack too deeply. Everything he did was to tempt him with benefits. Now that he heard Wang Lin's words, he let out a sigh of relief. He waved his right hand and the lightning cage immediately dispersed.
Wang Lin didn't even blink. He didn't even look at the lightning cage, he just stared at the old man.
"What do you want? Just say it," the old man said decisively. "I want to know how dangerous the place is!" Wang Lin's voice was calm, but his tone was filled with determination.
The old man chuckled and said, "Old Man, I won't lie to you about how dangerous it is. Early Nascent Soul stage cultivators have a 90% chance of dying. Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivators can survive if they are lucky. Only late Nascent Soul stage cultivators can explore it, but if they aren't careful, they will still die.
"However, although it is dangerous, the rewards are also great. Treasures, pills, cultivation methods, you can say that there is everything you need. In addition, there is the legendary Soul Transformation Pill. You only need to take one pill and you will have a chance to become a Soul Transformation cultivator.
"As for the dangers there, you don't need to worry. Your death spell will be very useful in one of the stages. At least before that, you won't be in any danger. As for the later stages, if you aren't greedy and wait outside, you will be teleported out when the time is up."
After Wang Lin heard this, he pondered a little. After analyzing the old man's words, he only believed 30% of them.
"Looking at your cultivation level, you should have just reached the Core Formation stage. Forget it, I have a Soul Forming Pill here. If you agree to come with me, I'll give it to you. Also, I can promise to give you one of the treasures we find there. How about it?"
He had heard Li Muwan mention the Soul Forming Pill before. It was a pill that could increase one's chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. This pill was very rare in a rank 3 cultivation country. Even in a rank 4 cultivation country, it wasn't common. The recipe for it was in the hands of a rank 5 cultivation country.
Wang Lin pondered a bit. He was a bit tempted by the mysterious place the old man mentioned. He didn't hope to get the legendary Soul Transformation Pill, he just wanted to get some cultivation methods and pills that could increase one's chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, without any outside help, Wang Lin didn't know how long it would take for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Furthermore, if he insisted on not agreeing, the other party would definitely not hesitate to kill him once they realized that there was no hope. In that case, there was only one path in front of him.
Wang Lin's expression remained the same as he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!"
The old man stared at Wang Lin for a while and suddenly said,
"How did you manage to disappear your aura twice?"
Wang Lin looked at the old man and didn't say anything. The two of them stared at each other for a while before the old man looked away and said coldly, "Let's go. In less than half a year, that place will open. If you try to escape during this time, the Old Man won't give you any chances. He will refine you directly."
As he spoke, he waved his hand like lightning and drew a symbol in the air. He slapped it and the symbol immediately drilled into Wang Lin's body, disappearing in a flash.
"This is a trace of Divine Sense. It won't harm you in the slightest. It's just to prevent you from disappearing again. When we reach that place, I'll naturally remove it for you."
Wang Lin was already mentally prepared for this. If it were him, he would have done the same. Moreover, if the other party wanted to set up some powerful restrictions, there was no need to wait until now.
He didn't move. Instead, he looked in the direction of the Hou Fen Union and said, "Junior still has something to do. Please wait a few more days."
The green-robed old man frowned as he stared at Wang Lin.
"What is it?"
Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Has senior heard of the War God Shrine's Divine Path?"
The old man sneered and said, "A Divine Path that can increase the chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. When that kid from the War God Shrine obtained it, it caused a huge uproar. However, even if you go, you won't be able to obtain the original Divine Path unless you go to the rank 4 cultivation country, Tian Gang."
Wang Lin's expression remained the same, but his heart skipped a beat. From the old man's words, it seemed like the War God Shrine was right; they couldn't have kept the original Divine Path forever.
However, if he didn't personally check it out, Wang Lin wouldn't be satisfied. He turned into a ray of light and flew toward the Hou Fen Union.
The green-robed old man's eyes flickered a few times, and he followed unhurriedly.
Not long after, the mountain of the Hou Fen Union appeared in the distance. Wang Lin stopped next to the mountain. When the old man got close, he said, "Ma Liang greets the War God Shrine's Senior Feng Luan."
His voice turned into a thunderous roar that spread out. Soon, several people flew out from the mountain. The one at the front was a woman in a palace dress. It was Feng Luan.
The first thing she saw was the old man next to Wang Lin. Her pupils shrank and her gaze landed on Wang Lin. She was secretly shocked. In just a few years, he had reached the Core Formation stage. However, thinking about how he had possessed a body, he must have already reached the Core Formation stage, which was why he was able to reach the Core Formation stage so quickly.
She pondered a bit and coldly said, "The person he has been looking for for three years is you?"
Wang Lin's expression was calm. He avoided this topic and said, "Senior Feng Luan, junior has a request.
"Senior Feng Luan, I have a request, I hope you can agree to it."
Feng Luan looked at the old man with fear. She took a deep breath and said, "Speak!"
Wang Lin's tone was calm as he slowly said, "Junior wants to borrow the Divine Path to take a look. I hope senior can grant my request."
Feng Luan pondered a bit. She looked at the old man and noticed that he was looking up at the sky. In the past three years, they had some guesses about the old man's cultivation, so they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw him come.
At this moment, a red-faced old man walked out from behind Feng Luan. He stared at Wang Lin for a while and said, "Since you are a disciple of the War God Shrine, there is no problem with looking. Come with me." With that, he looked at the green-robed old man.
Wang Lin didn't say anything and flew away.
The old man's expression was indifferent. With his experience, he could tell that Wang Lin was borrowing his power to take a look at the Divine Path. However, there was no need for him to fall out with Wang Lin over such a small matter. He wanted to help Wang Lin to the end and do him a favor to ease the relationship between the two of them.
Thinking about this, he said, "Little friend, I will wait for you outside. If you are injured in the slightest, I will bury all the living beings on this mountain with you."
The red faced old man's body trembled slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. He walked into the mountain with Wang Lin following closely behind. The two of them stopped outside a stone talisman at the back of the mountain.
"Should I call you Wang Lin?"
The red-faced old man broke the silence. He stopped outside the cave and looked back at Wang Lin as he said, word for word.
Wang Lin nodded and didn't say anything.
The old man took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Wang Lin, let bygones be bygones. I don't care how much trouble you have caused, but don't drag the War God Shrine into it. If you can make a vow to do this, I will open the stone talisman for you and let you see the Divine Path!"
This is the first chapter of yesterday's basic chapter. There will be another chapter of yesterday's basic chapter.
